Celebrate the shopping season with the Holiday Card

One of the best deals in town will soon be available for your money-saving pleasure. The Holiday Shopping Card makes its debut Thursday (Oct. 25) in grand style at a party that reaches across Highland Village.

The party is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., and shoppers can start their odyssey at West Elm and then enjoy food by Highland Village restaurants and even catch a tune or two by groups of carolers. Yes, I know it isn’t even Halloween yet, but who doesn’t love Silver Bells?

The card is an easy way to donate money to the American Cancer Society and save money on your holiday shopping at the same time. You simply purchase the card for a minimum donation of $60 and then when you shop at any of the participating retailers (there are 775 in the Houston area) save 20 percent on your purchase through Sunday, Nov. 4. The donation is 100 percent tax-deductible and 100 percent of the proceeds go directly to the American Cancer Society

You know a store is participating if you see the pink and green sign in the window. I just looked on the list and saw that my nail salon is participating. I will add it to my personal shopping list. Click here to find stores near you.
